NSEC3

networkingsecurity

Stands for: Next Secure version 3 (record)

A hashed version of NSEC that hides a zone's contents.

Next Secure version 3 (RFC 5155) provides the same authenticated denial as NSEC but over hashed names, so an attacker cannot walk the chain to enumerate every name in the zone.

Also known as: nsec3
